Browning X Bolt rebarreling

[titus123]

I'm looking for someone with experience in rebarreling Browning X Bolt rifles. I've heard the barrels can be a bear to remove.

The one I rebarrelled was no problem. I do remember it being 32tpi, though

I had one that was a bear to remove, I ended up making a relief cut right to the face of the action. Tried heat initially as they are glued with no luck.

i have done quite a few. Only issue is getting the old barrel off.
Biggest issue is the scope mount screws are long and damage the barrel threads.
I have always soaked the actions with penetrating oil for a while first.
All actions have broke loose easily. Issue is sometimes the threads gall do the damage to them.
I always tell customers up front. If this happens it will take extra work.
